Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the field of roof construction and methods of making roofs and, more particularly, to a roof construction having a fascia spaced from the roof rafter by an air-permeable and resistant strip to allow air circulation into an attic from between the fascia and the roof rafter.
- Soffit ventilators are perforated or louvered vent openings in the underside, or soffit, of the eaves of an overhanging roof.
- the vents allow fresh ambient air to flow into the attic to equalize interior temperature and pressure with the outside. This equalization inhibits moisture from condensing on insulation and wood roofing materials, prevents buildup of ice dams which could buckle shingles and gutters, and reduces air-conditioning costs when hot attic air is replaced by cooler ambient air.
- a soffit ventilator system may work in conjunction with a passive roof vent, such as a ridge vent, or with a forced-air fan to provide positive ventilation. As hot stale air is withdrawn through the roof vent by convection, wind suction, and/or forced flow, it is replaced by fresh ambient air through the soffit vents.
- the present invention provides a building structure adapted to allow for ventilation of vapors from within the structure so as to retard deterioration of the structure.
- the building structure has a roof extending over one or more vertical side walls. An attic space is enclosed between the roof and an internal ceiling.
- the roof is constructed on a plurality of parallel rafters. The rafters are supported by a top plate capping each vertical side wall.
- the roof has a roof sheathing member overlying the roof rafters.
- a fascia is secured to the outer ends of the roof rafters and at least one portion of the fascia is spaced from the outer ends of the rafters.
- An air permeable and resilient strip is interposed between the fascia and the outer ends of the rafters to provide for the flow of vapor therebetween and into the attic.
- the outer ends of the roof rafters overlie the top plate.
- the building structure has no soffit and the air permeable and resilient strip is adjacent the sill plate.
- a soffit is interposed between the top plate and the fascia and underlies the roof rafters.
- the air permeable and resilient strip is interposed between the soffit and the fascia and provides ventilation without disturbing the aesthetic of the soffit.

- FIG. 9 is a vertical section of a portion of a house showing a fourth alternative embodiment.
- FIG. 10 is a vertical section taken along the line 10--10 of FIG. 9.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a building structure 10 according to the invention.
- the building structure 10 has a wood frame 12, which is built of wall studs 14 capped by a double-sill top plate 16, ceiling joists 18, and roof rafters 20.
- the ceiling joists 18 span across the structure from the top plate 16, and the rafters 20 extend upward at a pitch of between 1/6 and 1/3, expressed as the ratio of the rise to the total span.
- each rafter has its lower end cut to form a horizontal edge 22, which rests on the top plate 16, and a vertical edge 24 which extends only slightly beyond the top plate. Thus, there is little or no eave.
- the studs 14 and top plate 16 frame the vertical walls 26.
- the vertical wall 26 is finished by a plaster wall 30 enclosing an interior 32 of the building, and an outer sheathing 34 covered by siding 36.
- a ceiling 38 underlying the ceiling joist 18 divides the interior 32 from an attic 40.
- a batten-type insulation 28 is laid between the ceiling joists 18.
- Plywood roof sheathing 42 overlies the roof rafter 20, with roofing paper 44 and shingles 46 covering sheathing 42.
- the structure has a board or boards secured to the vertical edge 24 of the rafters, called an eave fascia, or simply the fascia 50.
- an air permeable resilient strip 52 is sandwiched between the vertical edge 24 of the roof rafters and the fascia 50 allows for soffit ventilation of the attic in building structures that have little or no eave, and therefore essentially no soffit area.
- the fascia 50 and the air permeable and resilient strip 52 are secured to the rafters by fasteners extending through the fascia 50 and strip 52 into the vertical edge 24 of the roof rafters 20.
- the air permeable and resilient strip 52 has a lower surface 60 that is exposed to outside ambient air to allow air flow, and an upper surface 62 and side surfaces 64 through which the air can flow.
- the air enters from the outside through the lower surface 60 of the air permeable and resilient strip and flows through the strip 52 to the upper surface 62.
- the side surface 64 of the strip 52 may extend upward beyond the insulation 28 or be spaced from the insulation 28.
- a rain gutter 54 is secured to the fascia 50, and a drip edge 56 underlies the shingles 46 at the lower outer end of the roof sheathing 42, projecting over the fascia 50 and into the rain gutter 54.
- the non-woven air permeable and resilient strip 52 is formed of individual strips 3 inches wide and 50 feet long with a thickness of 1 or 11/2 inches.
- the strip 52 can be manufactured in various colors to blend with the fascia 50 and/or the siding 36.
- the non-woven air permeable and resilient strip 52 is made of synthetic fibers (usually nylon or polyester) which are opened and blended, then randomly aligned into a web by an airflow.
- the web is treated with bonding agents of water-based phenolics and latexes.
- the treated web is then oven-cured to bind the fabrics into a relatively rigid mat having a significant porous area between these random fibers.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,167,579 describes such an air permeable and resilient material or member being used in conjunction with a ridge vent and is incorporated herein by reference.
- the fascia vent can be installed on new construction before the fascia is installed, or in renovating a pre-existing building structure by first removing the existing fascia boards 50 from the roof rafters 20. With the fascia 50 not installed, the lower surface 60 of the air permeable and resilient strip 52 is placed flush with the bottom of the ceiling joist 18 and the horizontal edge 22 of the roof rafters 20 with the strip 52 extending 3 inches upward.
- the fascia 50 is then placed and secured by driving fasteners through the fascia and strip 52 into the vertical edge 24' of the roof rafters 20.
- the rain gutter 54 and drip edge 56 are installed in a conventional manner afterwards, with the shape of the drip edge 56 fashioned to conform with the movement outboard of the fascia 50.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 a second preferred embodiment is shown for a building structure of the type which has roof eaves, and thus both a soffit 70 and a fascia 50'.
- the roof rafters 20' each have a lower outer end 21' which is cut to form a horizontal edge 22' and a vertical edge 24'.
- the soffit 70 underlies and is secured to the horizontal edge 22' of the roof rafters 20'.
- the fascia 50' in this illustration is a metal plate and is secured to the vertical edge 24' of the roof rafters 20'.
- the insulation 28' is located between the ceiling joists 18' and ends above the top plate 16'.
- the drip edge 56' underlies the shingles 46' at the lower end of the roof sheathing 42', projects over the fascia 50' and into the rain gutter 54'.
- an air permeable and resilient strip 52' is located in proximity to the fascia 50' in a notch 76 cut in each of the roof rafters 20'.
- the air enters from the outside through the lower surface 60' of the air permeable and resilient strip 52' and flows through the strip 52' to both the upper surface 62' and the side surface 64'.
- insulation 28' could fall into the area above the soffit 70 and block the vent, if insulation 28' falls into the area above the soffit 70 in this invention, the insulation 28' will not block the ventilation.
- the strip 52' is colored to blend with the fascia 50 or soffit 70.
- the air flow is shown by the arrows to ventilate the building.
- the fascia vent can be installed on new construction before the fascia 50' is installed, or in renovating a pre-existing building structure by first removing the existing fascia boards 50' from the roof rafters 20'.
- Each rafter 20' is cut to form a notch 76 of the same height as the width of the resilient strip 52' and of the same depth as the thickness of the strip 52'.
- the strip 52' is set into the notches 76 and tacked by nail or adhesive to a few rafters to hold it in position.
- the lower surface 60 of the air permeable and resilient strip is placed flush with the bottom of the ceiling joist 18 and the horizontal edge 22' of the roof rafters 20' and extends upward in the notch 76.
- the fascia 50' is then placed and secured by driving fasteners through the fascia 50' and strip 52' into the vertical edge 24' of the roof rafters 20'.
- the gutter 54' and the drip edge 56' are also removed in order to facilitate the cutting of the notch 76 in the rafters 20' and then reinstalled.
- FIG. 5 a third embodiment is shown for a building structure of the type having a soffit 70" and a wooden fascia 50".
- the fascia 50" is wooden similar to the first embodiment and is secured by conventional means.
- An air permeable and resilient strip 52" is located in proximity to the fascia 50" in a notch 76" cut or formed in each of the roof rafters 20". The air enters from the outside through the lower surface 60" of the air permeable and resilient strip 52" and flow through the strip 52" to both the upper surface 62" and the side surface 64".
- a fourth preferred embodiment is shown for a building structure of the type which has roof eaves, and thus both a soffit 70'" and a fascia 50'".
- the fascia 50'" is wood and secured by conventional means.
- Oval shaped openings 80 are cut in the soffit 70'".
- the openings 80 are of a size of approximately 11 inches on the major axis and 2 inches in the minor axis.
- An air permeable and resilient strip 52'" is shaped to fit in the opening 80.
- the strip 52'" is a single piece of non-woven material having an oval shape.
- the strip 52'" is formed or cut such that a central portion 82 is recessed, as best seen in FIG. 8.

- the strip 52'" has an upper and lower portions 84 which are larger than the opening 80.
- the opening 80 is cut in the soffit 70'".
- the strip 52'" is compressed slightly so that the upper portion 84 is fed through the opening 80.
- the air permeable and resilient strip 52' being resilient, expands filling the opening 80, with the upper and lower portions 84 limiting movement of the strip 52'".
- the strip 52'" can extend upward several inches above the soffit 70'" to reduce likelihood of insulation 28'" blocking ventilation.
- a fifth preferred embodiment is shown for a building structure of the type which has roof or rafters 28"" extending beyond the vertical wall 26"".
- the vertical wall 26"” shown is a cement wall that supports the roof rafters 28"" by a notch 86 cut in the rafter receiving the upper end of the vertical wall 26"".
- the building structure 10"" has an interior 32" defined by the plaster wall 30" and a ceiling 38"".
- the ceiling 38"" is attached directly to the roof rafters 28"" and a layer of insulation 28"" overlies the ceiling 38"". Between the layer of insulation 28"" and the roof sheathing 42"" is a space 90 to allow air flow.
